Re: Hollands Pies Takeover

It looks a lot better now than if the other bid from Ireland had gone through. They had already said that they would be transferring some of the production over there because they already produce pies, the winning bid does not currently make any of Hollands products.

Re: Hollands Pies Takeover

With a new owner and a new MD who knows now but Northern Foods have held Hollands back for years with no investment and penny pinching, I still don't see anything happening quickly but he has already put a stop on NFs idea to move some of the production to Ireland so jobs are safe for the time being.

Now it's not on the stockmarket who knows it might happen, after a big fall in sales a few years ago when Northern Foods took over it was decided that they needed to go back to the original recipes. This did happen, quality meat and incredients came back on the menu but to me the problem still lies with the amount of filling that goes into the pie, not enough.

Re: Hollands Pies Takeover

Well, sad TIME now for me, time to give up my Hollands Pie shares!
Letter arrived this week from new owners wanting my shares, not that I have that many, but .....
The company paid my bills and paid for our holidays for 18 years so I will always have a "soft spot" for Hollands!
"Another one bites the dust".

Just off to watch THE WEDDING
